It should have been a wonderful evening. Stephan and Elisabeth have invited family and friends for dinner, but as soon as Thomas announces that he and his pregnant girlfriend Anna are planning to name their unborn son Adolf, things get out of hand. Even family friend René is drawn into the fight, as secrets are revealed and truths are dragged to light, kicking and screaming. It’s a clash of egos, of wounded prides, and as the evening escalates and unforgiveable things are said on all sides, the argument about baby names turns into a feast of childhood transgressions and hidden passions, served up for all to enjoy. Director Sönke Wortmann deftly helms this incredible, did-he-just-say-that story of a family dinner gone awry, in which German guilt and angst over the Nazi past burst out into the open willy-nilly.

The German version is just as wonderful as the French original, with a similarly good cast and negligible changes to the screenplay. The biggest difference, which is irrelevant to the story and its entertainment value, is the more austere interior of the living room in which everything takes place. And the drier opening with the pizza delivery guy. In terms of the nature of the characters, however, “German” is perhaps closer to the Czech viewer than the more exotic “French” from 2012.
